Mural update

The eighth grade at Harlem Park continue to work with artist in residence Kristin Helberg to create their mural in the style of Mughal painting. After examining images of traditional Indian painting each student in the class made a drawing that they then transferred to the mural panel using graphite paper. The students are now using house paint and metallic acrylics to add color to their images 
The class are also making miniature paintings of their mural contributions. The miniatures are drawn on handmade watercolor paper from India. Students are using watercolor pencils and metallic watercolors for the color on these works.
